The Last Words of Rowan Du Preez: Murder and Conspiracy on the Cape Flats (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781868428687)

In 2012 Angy Peter was bringing up her young children with her husband is Bardale, Mfuleni on the Cape Flats. Angy was an activist, and spent her days collecting evidence for a commission of inquiry into policing that had the chance to change law enforcement across the country's troubled townships. She was vocally against vigilante violence and a go-to person when demanding better services from the police.

But when the commission started its hearings, Angy found herself on trial for murdering - necklacing - a young neighbourhood troublemaker, Rowan du Preez. The state's case centred on the accusation Rowan had allegedly made with his dying breath - that Angy had set alight the tyre around his neck.

Simone Haysom takes us into the heart of a mystery: was Angy Peter framed by the police for a murder she didn't commit? Or was she a wolf in sheep's clothing who won a young man's trust and then turned on him in the most brutal way?
